Happy Healthy New Year nachos recipe

Over the past several years, I have remade my earlier New Year's nachos into an even healthier version making my own chips using spinach flour tortillas and topping them with a garnish of nonfat Greek yogurt in lieu of sour cream. With plenty of heat from the jalapeno and a heap of healthy black-eyed peas, it doesn't take a thick blanket of cheese to top off this version. Enjoy them year-round.

*Other additions could include finely diced grape tomatoes or salsa of your choice

Heat oven to 300 degrees. Position oven rack to upper medium height. Cut tortillas into 8 wedges. Place wedges on baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Bake 8 to 10 minutes until crisp. Drain black-eyed peas. Spoon equally onto crisp chips. Top with chopped scallions and peppers of choice, then cheese. Pop the nachos back into the oven for 5 minutes or until cheese melts. Garnish with yogurt and chopped cilantro or scallions. Serve warm.

Cooking notes: These nachos can be made up to an hour in advance and heated in oven just before serving. Garnish or let guests garnish their own from small bowls of nonfat yogurt, cilantro, salsa and diced avocados for an even healthier finish. No one need know they are eating healthy food.
